摘要

第一个遗传咨询(GC)研究生培训项目于 1969 年在美国成立,在许多国家,遗传咨询都是一个新兴的医疗保健领域。每年,至少有 7% 的美国遗传咨询研究生项目申请人来自美国以外的国家("国际遗传咨询申请人")。为了满足国际遗传咨询申请者的独特需求,美国国家遗传咨询师协会(NSGC)国际特殊兴趣小组(ISIG)的志愿者们于 2021 年启动了一项半结构化导师计划("国际遗传咨询导师计划"(IGCMP)),该计划提供个性化的导师指导,并可选择参加小组活动,以促进交流和学习。来自 19 个国家的 52 人在三个申请周期内报名参加了 IGCMP。其中,47 人有资格作为被指导者参加,大多数人对与在美国的国际 GC 进行一对一虚拟会面感兴趣(n = 41/47,87.2%)。我们向参加了 IGCMP 第一或第二周期后申请 GC 研究生院的 17 名被指导者发送了评估表。在收到的 12 份回复中,有 10 人(83.3%)表示对自己的导师非常满意,有 9 人(75.0%)认为与导师的一对一会面对申请和面试过程都很有帮助。重要的是,关于项目改进的反馈显示,受访者有兴趣与更多的国际申请者和导师建立联系,而且所有受访者都表示有兴趣在整个研究生阶段接受导师的指导。未来的发展方向包括与其他导师和研究生项目合作,进一步加强对国际申请者的支持。

The mentee report: outcomes from implementing a mentorship program for international genetic counseling applicants.

The first genetic counseling (GC) graduate training program was established in the United States (U.S.) in 1969 and GC is an emerging field of healthcare in many countries. Each year, at least 7% of applicants to U.S.-based GC graduate programs come from countries outside the U.S. ("international GC applicants''). To address the unique needs of international GC applicants, volunteers from the International Special Interest Group (ISIG) of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) launched a semi-structured mentorship program (the "International Genetic Counseling Mentorship Program'' (IGCMP)) in 2021, which provides individualized mentorship and optional group activities for networking and learning. Fifty-two people from 19 countries signed up for the IGCMP across three application cycles. Of these, 47 were eligible to participate as mentees, and most were interested in one-on-one virtual meetings with international GCs in the U.S. (n = 41/47, 87.2%). An assessment form was sent to 17 mentees who applied to GC graduate school after participating in the first or second cycle of the IGCMP. Of the 12 responses received, 10 (83.3%) reported being extremely satisfied with their individual mentor(s), and the one-on-one meeting with a mentor was considered helpful to both the application and interview process by nine (75.0%) respondents. Importantly, feedback about program improvement revealed an interest in connecting with additional international applicants and mentors and all respondents expressed interest in receiving mentorship throughout graduate school. Future directions include collaborating with other mentorship and graduate programs to further enhance support for international applicants.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Community Genetics is an international forum for research in the ever-expanding field of community genetics, the art and science of applying medical genetics to human communities for the benefit of their individuals. Community genetics comprises all activities which identify persons at increased genetic risk and has an interest in assessing this risk, in order to enable those at risk to make informed decisions. Community genetics services thus encompass such activities as genetic screening, registration of genetic conditions in the population, routine preconceptional and prenatal genetic consultations, public education on genetic issues, and public debate on related ethical issues. The Journal of Community Genetics has a multidisciplinary scope. It covers medical genetics, epidemiology, genetics in primary care, public health aspects of genetics, and ethical, legal, social and economic issues. Its intention is to serve as a forum for community genetics worldwide, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. The journal features original research papers, reviews, short communications, program reports, news, and correspondence. Program reports describe illustrative projects in the field of community genetics, e.g., design and progress of an educational program or the protocol and achievement of a gene bank. Case reports describing individual patients are not accepted.
